Hope much torque management do you have left in your tune? At what percent throttle does your truck enter PE? What tuning are you running and what's your fuel enrichment. All this things matter to making your truck jump off the line quicker and entering power enrichment sooner. From the factory it's basically disabled. What's your PE delay set to? Do you have a wideband and what tuning suite do you use? Is abuse mode disabled? Who's doing your tuning? They must have you on a very safe and scanned back tune to protect you and themselves.

Chris Bales is the guy doing my tune. Have you ever seen the TV show Street Outlaws? He has tuned most of those guys cars and he's been on the show with Chuck tuning his white mustang. I think he tunes Chief's car along with a couple others.

Just the stock truck intake. I've been told that these intakes are really good and you don't really get much if any gains from an aftermarket intake

This is correct. The truck intake flows as well as the LS6 intake, it just produces a lower-RPM power band. Larger aftermarket intakes aren't much of any help unless you have a bigger cam.

Does he tune The Farm Truck and Dung Beetle?

Also one thing that was brought to my attention (not that it means much) is that the stock 2004 Tahoe's 0-60mph is 9 seconds, so I've almost shaved 2 second's off from stock. I have to keep telling myself that this truck weighs 5,600lbs. It's not like the 91 mustang I had. This is what makes this more challenging, to take a heavy Tahoe that nobody expects to be fast at all and blow their doors off. Anyone can make a Mustang fast, not to many people can make a Tahoe fast.

I'm not sure but I can ask him. I will see him next Friday or Saturday to get my heads. He only lives about 10 miles from my house

What does PE mean? Performance Enhancement?

Power enrichment. Plays a huge factor when going WOT. I thought you had the HP suite yourself, was fine help you out but you should be in decent hands.

I liked the show before it became way too scripted. Unfortunately, it's about as real as Pawn Stars. No doubt they have some fast cars using the TV money, but do any of them have real jobs. The show "Jumped The Shark" when they raced against Gas Monkey.

I'm not sure about the real jobs. But I do know that some of them own their own performance shops and that's their source of income. I'm sure that they get paid per episode to be on the show but I don't know how much.

Here is what my bully dog said my times are. Now I only use this as a gauge to monitor transmission temperature and other things that the dashboard doesn't provide not a tune. As stated before I have the HP custom tune. I'm not sure how accurate this is either. I did my 0-60mph with a stopwatch and I got around 7 seconds

They have done some footage for an episode here in Baytown at Royal Purple Raceway, on Friday nights they have a safe street night. $20 and you get to run a NHRA sanctioned 1/4 mile track in your street rod/ daily driver. I've seen from Mercedes to Pintos go down the track.
I wasn't there that weekend when the S/O were there but it was all over RPR's Facebook.
There isn't many daily drivers that put out really great times. Most of the times even the factory hot rods only do low 10s, and high 9s in the quarter. It's when you get the guys that spend the big bucks do you see some low ETs.
